'Bola, on your mandate' - PDP, Nigerians react as National Assembly sings for Tinubu in video

Nigerians and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have strongly condemned the actions of Senate President Godwill Akpabio and his colleagues.

Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu presented the 2024 budget proposal of N27.5 trillion Naira at the joint session of the national assembly on Wednesday, November 29.

Nigerians however expressed concern over the reaction from the joint session of the National Assembly, as they sang the song of allegiance, ‘On your mandate, we shall stand’ which was used to usher in President Tinubu before he presented the budget.

Reacting via its official X page (formerly Twitter), the PDP condmened the rendition, describing the senate as "insensitive.

The opposition party in a statement signed by Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the national publicity secretary, said:

"Our nation is dangerously sliding into cronyism and totalitarianism under the Tinubu-led APC administration."

Meanwhile, an X user @aai_austin who shared the video urged all Nigerians to condemn the rendition noting, it is an evidence of outright totalitarianism.

The X user tweeted: "We have witnessed rubber stamp senate under Ahmed Lawanbut this Godswill Akpabio's senate is a collection Hypemen.

"He has moved from wearing Tinubu's insignia cap to "On Your Mandate" hypelord right on the floor of the Senate.

"Every well meaning Nigerian must condemn this rendition of Tinubu’s campaign tune in National Assembly Chamber. God forbid

"An evidence of outright Totalitarianism."
